Stage Crasher Takes Guitar to the Face at Black Crowes Concert
A man who crashed the stage at a recent Black Crowes concert found himself (or, more specifically, his face) at the receiving end of Rich Robinson’s guitar. As Metal Injection points out, the incident occurred during the band’s concert in Melbourne, Australia over the weekend. As the Robinson brothers played “Stare It Cold,” a man rushed the stage in bassist Steve Pipien’s direction. Security quickly intervened and attempted to escort the man off the stage, but he was able to wiggle free. It was at this point that Rich Robinson took off his guitar and slammed it into the man’s face / chest. Chris Robinson also took a swing at the man with his mic stand and appeared ready to stab him with it; fortunately for the stage crasher, he was pushed off the stage before the incident escalated any fu...
Elton John & His Family Ring In the Holidays With Saks Fifth Avenue Window Reveal
Christmas in America is a time for family togetherness and glitzy commercialism, and New Yorkers were treated to both on Tuesday (Nov. 22) night when Elton John, his husband David Furnish and children Zachary (11) and Elijah (9) helped unveil the Saks Fifth Avenue holiday display. A police barricade stopped traffic on (the rather busy) Fifth Avenue at 49th Street in Manhattan while a grand piano was wheeled into the middle of Fifth Avenue around 7 p.m. E.T. as onlookers – who were expecting a holiday display reveal but not a Rock and Roll Hall of Famer – marveled. After some introductory remarks from Saks CEO Marc J. Metrick, who announced that Saks was giving a $1 million donation to the Elton John AIDS Foundation’s Rocket Fund, Sir Elton took his rightful place behind the ivories. “It me...
Nandi Bushell Enlists Younger Brother for Thrashing ‘Killing In the Name’ Rage Cover: Watch
Nandi Bushell is ready to rage — this time, with the help of her little brother on the drumkit. On Sunday (Nov. 20), the multi-instrumentalist sensation took to Twitter and Instagram to post an instrumental cover of Rage Against the Machine‘s popular protest song, 1992’s “Killing In the Name.” “A family that Rages together, stays together! I love jamming with my brother Thomas,” Bushell shared on the social media platforms. “I am teaching him about all the greatest #rock and #metal#bands. @RATM is one of the bands at the top of my list! #ratm.

Smashing Pumpkins Invite Willow Smith to Perform “Cherub Rock” at Tour Finale: Watch
Smashing Pumpkins enlisted Willow Smith for a ripping performance of the band’s 1993 single “Cherub Rock” during their headlining set at Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles on Saturday (November 19th). The concert marked the end of Pumpkins’ joint “Spirits on Fire Tour” with Jane’s Addiction. Smith, who performs as “WILLOW,” took the stage toward the end of the band’s set after a brief introduction by guitarist James Iha. Despite the fledgling rockstar’s well established powerhouse vocals, she ceded the mic completely to Billy Corgan and instead opted to showcase her guitar-playing abilities. Joining Corgan, Iha, and Jeff Schroeder, WILLOW brought the band’s headcount of guitarists to four, which surely delighted the frontman’s insatiable desire for dense, distortion layering. WILLOW later poste...
Jack White Tears Elon Musk a New One
Jack White is joining Trent Reznor as the latest high-profile rocker to quit Twitter. In an extensive statement posted to Instagram on Sunday, White ripped into Elon Musk over his decision to reinstate former president Donald Trump. While Musk insists that his motives are in the name of free speech, White sees it otherwise. “Tell it like it is; people like you and Joe Rogan (who gives platforms to liars like alex jones etc.); you come into a ton of money, see the tax bill, despise paying your fair share, and then think moving to Texas and supporting whatever republican you can is going to help you keep more of your money,” White wrote.

Trent Reznor on Desire to Bail on Twitter After Elon Musk Takeover: ‘We Don’t Need the Arrogance of the Billionaire Class’
“Embarrassment,” offers Trent Reznor when asked for his take on Elon Musk’s Twitter takeover. The Nine Inch Nails frontman and Oscar-winning composer (with longtime partner Atticus Ross) has a sizable 1.6 million following, even if he doesn’t tweet all that much. Nonetheless, he’s ready to say goodbye for good. “I’m about to depart. We don’t need the arrogance of the billionaire class to feel like they can just come in and solve everything. Even without him involved, I just find that it has become such a toxic environment. For my mental health, I need to tune out. I don’t feel good being there anymore.” He’s not alone in weighing his future on the platform. Stars who have logged off for good in the days since Musk’s Oct. 28 acquisition of the company include Alex W...
